The Jubilee Head series is characterized by a reverse featuring Benedetto Pistrucci's depiction of St George and the Dragon, and an obverse featuring Sir J. E. Boehm's Queen Victoria Jubilee Head and the legend VICTORIA D : G: BRITT : REG : F : D: ( Victoria by the grace of God, Queen of Britain, Defender of the Faith ).The series is spread across two basic types of reverse and obverse designs. Obverse - Large Head Obverse - Large Head Obverse - Small Head Obverse - Small Head The large head features a large bust of Queen Victoria best identified by the crown being embedded in the rim, the small head however, has a crown which barely touches the rim.\
